Although they deliberately deviated from the route some troops had come, the soldiers still didn't have much time to waste.The food that Li Xian brought from Zuo Tunwei, together with the looted items picked up along the road, counted as two full meals a day, the team of 7000 people probably only had enough food for four days.The first meal of the escaped soldiers of the Sui Dynasty was not hot porridge or something like that, but a small bag of fried dry food for each person.It's hard to chew, but it's a delicacy for them.

This meal has a lot of food, because after a short rest, the team has to continue on the road, and the soldiers must recover some energy as soon as possible.Ulji Mundeok's men were chasing after them. Although the Sui's rout attracted most of Goguryeo's men and horses, and Li Xian deliberately made the illusion of returning the same way, he was not sure how to hide it. Ulchi Boondeok.

While eating, Li Xian called all the generals under his command for a brief meeting.

The content of the meeting is very simple, with only two themes.

One, how will the team go next.

Two, murder.

There wasn't much disagreement about how the team would go.Most of them agree not to go back the same way. This is in the territory of Goguryeo. The Goguryeo people know better than the Sui people how the Sui expeditionary army came.Hundreds of thousands of Goguryeo people chased after them, and they were far more familiar with this road than the Sui people.Moreover, Li Xian has a map in his hand.Of course, the map is not a comprehensive and detailed map of Goguryeo, and he has not had the ability to figure it out in such a short period of time.

To put it bluntly, this map is a road map back to Liaoshui.The twenty secret agents of the Flying Tiger Army sent out by Li Xian before crossing the Liaoshui River took several months to find out. The mission Li Xian entrusted to them was to find a way home.Those who are prepared will not feel too difficult at the critical moment, because the most difficult thing he thought of the countermeasures a few months ago.He wants to bring his troops back to Yanshan, and going back is the most important thing.In February, he spilled the secret agents of the Flying Tiger Army to explore the route. Now it is the end of August, and the secret agents of the Flying Tiger Army have found another way back to Liaoshui in half a year.

On the surface, it would appear to be faster if you return the same way, but in fact, the Goguryeo people will also think of this.Moreover, in addition to the nearly 10,000 Sui soldiers who died on the banks of the Sashui River, there are still [-]+ Sui troops who have completely escaped the establishment and ran back the same way, and the Koreans will definitely chase after them.Someone suggested that Li Xian go back the same way because he could gather more routs, but in fact, Li Xian no longer has this ability.

Now there are more than 2 horses, enough food for four days.The more people gathered along the way, the greater the burden.It's not that I don't want to do that, but if I do that, I can only usher in the next crash in the fastest time.

When everyone learned that Li Xian had a road map to go home, no one debated about this topic.It's not that they cold-bloodedly ignored other Sui soldiers, but that doing so would not save more people, but would also bury these more than 2 people.

The second thing is to kill.

There are a lot of people to kill, probably more than 2000.

There are two kinds of people to kill, Goguryeo people and their own people.

The Goguryeo people were captured during the fighting along the way, and some were deliberately captured as guides. As a result, too many were captured, and it was cumbersome to carry.Besides, these Sui soldiers who had narrowly escaped death now have no consciousness that they can't kill prisoners, and benevolence, righteousness and morality are not worth a copper coin.Of the [-] Sui soldiers who died on the banks of the Sashui River, only [-] died from fighting. Nearly [-] Sui soldiers chose to surrender, but after the Goguryeo people robbed them of all their armor and weapons, what to do next? The most important thing is to cut off nearly [-] heads.No one was left behind, and they all became headless wild ghosts.

When the Emperor Shengming of the Sui Dynasty ordered that the Goryeo people should not be killed and captured after they surrendered, he did not know if he had thought about what would happen to his people when they were captured by the Goguryeo people.

Nearly [-] headless corpses were embanked by the Goguryeo people along the Sa River, and the entire ten-mile-long water surface was red.And those human heads were worn on the wood by Goguryeo people and stuck on the ground. Looking at them from a distance, it looks like a large piece of dense human head grass growing on the ground.

Everyone has no opinion on killing the two thousand prisoners of war, and there is no need to discuss it.

But when it was their turn to kill their own people, many people fell silent. In 130, the five soldiers of the Sui government violated the military law and Li Xian decided to decide how to deal with the soldiers after they had finished eating.There are two main violations of the military law. First, snatching other people's armor and weapons or even injuring others. Second, not only did not hand over the food that was hidden, but also besieged the soldiers who paid the food in the camp, killing more than a dozen people.

These soldiers were caught by the law enforcement team that Li Xian sent Xiong Kuohai and Fu Hunu to temporarily form, but when Fu Hunu led his people away, the soldiers who paid for the food in a small team under Wang Qinian had already been beaten. Most of them died, and there were more than one hundred perpetrators, all of whom were soldiers of the left guard.

Therefore, Xue Wanche's expression was ugly.

Those who killed were all soldiers of his left guard, and those who were killed were all soldiers of Li Xian's left guard.

"Isn't it... a stick to warn others? Kill those Goguryeo barbarians and kill them, but after all, those soldiers are our soldiers from the Sui Dynasty. It's not good to be too strict... After all, the team is not monolithic now. The emotions of the soldiers, I am afraid that there will be a mutiny."

Duguzhen glanced at Xue Wanche seemingly casually, then cleared his throat and said.

"The ones they killed were also soldiers of the Sui Dynasty!"

Luo Fu said with red eyes.

Dugu was suffocated, and then stopped talking.He didn't mind that Luo Fu, a low official, contradicted him, because Luo Fu was Li Xian's confidant.As for the current team, it is obvious that Li Xian is the real commander.He also wanted to follow the team back to the Sui Dynasty alive, and what he said before was nothing more than to save Xue Wanche's face.Speaking of which, most of the discussions now are children from poor families, only he and Xue Wanche are from aristocratic families.So it was inevitable that he would get closer to Xue Wanche, after all, Duguzhen was not used to the smell of muddy legs on those people from poor families.

But he didn't intend to offend Li Xian, so he kept talking.

"Wang Qinian!"

Li Xian turned his head to look at the skinny figure standing at the farthest distance, waved his hand and said, "Tell me what happened carefully. No concealment is allowed, and no biased words are allowed."

Wang Qinian smiled wryly, stepped up bravely and said, "General, it's like this. Yesterday evening, a small group of soldiers sent to me by the general discovered that some of the soldiers under General Xue's command were robbing the food picked up by others and refusing to hand it over. To the supply battalion. There was a school lieutenant of the left guard who said..."

Xue Wanche looked at Wang Qinian and said coldly: "What did he say, you just say it directly!"

Wang Qinian's expression changed, he glanced at Li Xian, then gritted his teeth and said, "The lieutenant said that they are the soldiers of Zuo Yuwei, and they only listen to General Xue's words. They want to keep the food for themselves and don't need to give it to others. You need to watch the people in Zuo Tunwei tell you what to do. If you want food, you have the ability to draw your sword and grab it."

Xue Wanche's face became very ugly, he glanced at Li Xian but didn't speak.He actually knew about it, and immediately tied him up and sent him to Li Xianjun's tent after learning about it.He thought that Li Xian would be lenient, but he didn't expect to bring it up in front of everyone today.Just now, when Li Xian asked Wang Qinian to tell the story again, he thought that Li Xian had instructed Wang Qinian to say something nice for his soldiers.Unexpectedly, this guy named Wang Qinian didn't leave any room for telling the truth.

"Why fight and hurt people?"

Li Xian asked.

Anyway, he was going all out, and Wang Qinian simply explained the matter clearly in one breath.

"General Yan ordered that all food must be kept in the supply battalion. Any soldier who hides food privately and refuses to hand it over will be dealt with according to military law. At that time, because the left guards refused to hand over the food, my staff in the supply battalion The team led people up to confiscate them. At first, they were pushed and shoved a few times by the left guard, but my soldiers didn't do anything. Later, the captain of the left guard became anxious, and he cut the staff of the supply battalion with a knife. When the team was in the middle, the soldiers from the supply battalion stepped forward to rescue them, and the left guards began to injure people with knives. More than 100 people besieged 17 soldiers from the supply battalion, and [-] people were killed on the spot. Only three of them are still alive...but , probably won’t survive today. The lightest one also had seven or eight stab wounds on his body. Among the people who were killed, two were chopped into meat by random knives, and the corpses are not complete!”

Li Xian hummed and said, "You step back first."

He turned his head slightly to look at Xue Wanche, who had a pale face, and asked softly, "General Xue, how do you think this matter will be handled?"

Xue Wanche said nothing, Li Xian just kept looking at him, after a while Xue Wanche gritted his teeth and said: "General Yan, we publicly recommend you as the leader of the army, and you set the military law, so Xue has no opinion on how you deal with it!"

Li Xian nodded, glanced at the others and asked, "What do you think, is it killing or punishment?"

Everyone looked at each other but didn't speak.

Li Xian stood up, saw that the soldiers had finished their meal, and then said calmly: "People cannot be established without faith, and laws are useless. Violation of military discipline should be killed."

He walked slowly towards the crowd in the distance, and said as he walked: "The order is assembled, and the military law is about to be enforced!"

……

……

When more than 2000 Goguryeo prisoners of war were beheaded, the soldiers of the Tai Sui government let out a cheer that deliberately suppressed their voices.No one sympathized with those Goguryeo people, just as no one sympathized with them when the soldiers of the Sui Dynasty were stripped naked by Goguryeo people and chopped off their heads. More than 2000 heads fell, but everyone's hearts
